Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care, early detection of dental issues, and effective treatments to maintain your overall oral health. Below, we’ll explore the specific services offered as part of our general dentistry care.

Dental Exams & Cleanings: The Foundation of Oral Health

Routine dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. At Riverwalk Dental Group, we recommend that patients visit us every six months for a professional cleaning and examination. These regular visits are essential for detecting potential problems early, such as tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues that may not be visible to the untrained eye.

Dental Exams

During your dental exam, our experienced team will carefully check your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other conditions. We may also use CT scans or X-rays to get a more detailed view of your teeth and jaw, ensuring that no hidden issues go undetected. Preventive exams help us spot problems early when they’re easier and less costly to treat.

Professional Cleanings

Our dental hygienists provide thorough cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Even with excellent at-home oral care, plaque can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. Regular professional cleanings help prevent cavities and gum disease, keeping your smile healthy and bright. After the cleaning, we will polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean.

These preventive services are key to maintaining a healthy mouth and avoiding more complex treatments down the road. If it’s time for your next dental exam or cleaning, schedule your appointment at one of our locations in Jupiter, Stuart, Port St. Lucie, or Saint Lucie West.

Extractions: Gentle and Professional Care

While preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, there are times when a tooth may need to be removed due to severe decay, damage, or overcrowding. Extractions are a common dental procedure, and at Riverwalk Dental Group, we take extra care to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible.

When Extractions Are Necessary

Extractions may be necessary for several reasons, including:

  • Severe tooth decay that cannot be repaired with a filling or crown
  • Advanced periodontal (gum) disease that affects the support structure of the tooth
  • Teeth that are overcrowded and need to be removed for orthodontic treatment
  • Impacted wisdom teeth that are causing pain or infections

The Extraction Process

Before the procedure, we will take X-rays or CT scans to evaluate the tooth and the surrounding structures. For patients who are nervous about extractions, we offer oral sedation to help you feel calm and comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the tooth is gently removed, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.

Our dentists are highly experienced in performing extractions with minimal discomfort and maximum care. If a tooth extraction is necessary, you’re in good hands at Riverwalk Dental Group. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or think you may need an extraction, schedule a consultation with our team today.

Emergency Dentist: Prompt Care When You Need It Most

Emergency Dentist: Prompt Care When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and when they do, it’s important to get prompt care to prevent further damage or pain. At Riverwalk Dental Group, we offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies to ensure you get the immediate care you need.

Common Dental Emergencies

Some common dental emergencies include:

  • Severe toothaches: Intense, persistent pain may be a sign of infection or decay.
  • Knocked-out teeth: If you’ve had a tooth knocked out due to injury or accident, quick action can save the tooth.
  • Chipped or broken teeth: A broken tooth needs immediate attention to prevent further damage.
  • Lost crowns or fillings: Losing a crown or filling can expose the sensitive inner layers of your tooth, causing pain and leaving it vulnerable to infection.

Emergency Care at Riverwalk Dental Group

If you’re facing a dental emergency, don’t wait to seek care. Our experienced team will assess the situation, relieve your pain, and restore your smile as quickly as possible. Whether you need a temporary solution or more permanent treatment like a dental crown or root canal, we’ll make sure you receive the best care right away.

We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful, which is why we’re here to provide compassionate and prompt care at our offices in Jupiter, Stuart, Port St. Lucie, and Saint Lucie West.
